Two questions:
1. If your package definitely needs to call View(), and you want to explain how that will look, then why not show one or more screenshots in your documentation?
2. Why does your package need to call View? Why can't it return the metadata as a data frame, and let the user do what he wants with it himself - using View(), head(), or any other tool?

Hi All:
My package allows the user to search for information about the data
available, and the information is returned in a dataframe. I had long been
looking for a nice way to display the results (the datasets' metadata),
and wasn't too happy with anything until I tried the View() command, which
does exactly what I want.
The problem is I can't seem to find a way to make View() and knitr() work
nice together in creating the vignette. Given the way View() works I doubt
there is a way, but any suggestions of how I can show what the user will
see when the given the command in the package from within my vignette?
Thanks,
-Roy
